Blizzard Announces New StarCraft Open-World Shooter Set to Launch in 2030
After over a decade without new content, Blizzard has announced that it is reviving the StarCraft franchise with an open-world shooter set for release in 2030. The game will not follow the traditional real-time strategy format but instead take on a first-person perspective, focusing primarily on the human United Earth Directorate faction and their conflict against the Zerg. A cinematic trailer was shown at BlizzCon to preview the new direction of the franchise. The announcement comes after previous attempts like StarCraft: Ghost were canceled in 2014 due to development issues. Fans have mixed reactions, with excitement for a return but also anticipation for an RTS sequel to 2010’s StarCraft II.
